Summary: “American Beauty” is a comedy because we laugh at the absurdity of the hero’s problems. And a tragedy because we can identify with his failure–not the specific details, but the general outline.

Summary: With heavenly finesse Kevin Spacey plays a buttoned-down 42-year-old suburbanite who flips his lid for a teenage cheerleader. And he never gets it back on. The midlife crisis motif is familiar, but the stage director Sam Mendes brings terrific visual flair and dry humor to this barbecuing of the bourgeoisie. All the actors display coolly expert timing, especially Annette Bening as the antihero’s grasping wife. Although the story spreads itself thin among many characters, the film coalesces for a devastating finale. — Janet Maslin\n

Summary: American Beauty, American dramatic film, released in 1999, that was a critical and box office success and earned five Academy Awards, including best picture. Writer Alan Ball and director Sam Mendes created a dark satire of suburban culture that delivers sharp jabs at a typical middle-class American family, kills off its flawed yet likable main character, and still delivers a message of forgiveness and redemption. The film depicts the last few months of the life of Lester Burnham (played by Kevin Spacey), who narrates the movie. Lester lives in a nameless suburb in an apparently loveless marriage with Carolyn (Annette
